[2]National Nurses United




My name is Mari — I’m an organizer on the MFA team, and I help lead our
Medicare Para Todos program. I wanted to make sure you saw something
brazen and disrespectful that happened yesterday.

In honor of Martin Luther King Day yesterday, CVS shared on social media
that they were “addressing racial inequality through several areas,
including access to health care.” They even included an image with the
text, “Health care is a right.”

But here’s the thing. Instead of supporting the
solution that we know would address many racial inequalities in our health
care system and truly make health care a right – CVS has spent $5 million
dollars trying to undermine Medicare for All, which would guarantee care
to 30 million uninsured Americans — half of whom are Black, Indigenous, or
people of color.

If CVS truly wanted to address racial inequality in health care or
believed that health care is a right, they wouldn’t be spending millions
on dark money lobbying groups to spread lies and advocate against Medicare
for All.^1

Together, we’re going to tell CVS how we really feel about them exploiting
MLK Day and covering up what they’re really doing – which is working to
block Medicare for All.

[ [link removed] ]Can you post a response to CVS’s MLK Day post on Facebook, Instagram,
or Twitter to call out their lies and help spread the truth about CVS’
anti-Medicare for All efforts?

Here are some sample comments you can use,
but
something in your own words is always best: 

* If health care is a right, why is CVS Health the largest contributor
to dark money lobbying groups working to stop Medicare for All?
[ [link removed] ][link removed]
* CVS claims to be working to address racial inequities in health care
but we already know what would solve many of those inequities
– Medicare for All – and they’re spending $5 million dollars to lobby
against it [ [link removed] ][link removed] 
* You know what would help racial inequities in health care? Medicare
for All. Why? It levels the health care playing field by eliminating
financial barriers to care and would provide additional funding,
protections, and support for historically medically underserved areas.
But CVS would rather lobby against that to protect their profits:

The truth is that in our current broken system, people of color
consistently receive less than adequate health care treatment and
services. They are less likely to receive job-based health insurance and
are most likely to live in medically underserved areas. 

Medicare for All would address many of these issues, but companies like
CVS Health are actively fighting against it. We’re up against powerful
corporate interests to bring true racial justice in health care, but
together we can fight back and demand that our politicians listen to us,
not dark money groups. 

Please add your voice now by sharing your response to CVS’ lies on
[ [link removed] ]Facebook, [ [link removed] ]Twitter, or [ [link removed] ]Instagram.

Thank you for speaking out.
